I’ll take a feeble crack at it. I thikn Janis is saying that she can’t give a tell to her age with all the nubile women walking the beach. Maybe they’re competition, although Janis is pretty sexy as comic strip women go.

Molly – women’s magazines are PURPOSELY DESIGNED to make their female readers feel ugly.

Magazines make most of their money from selling advertising space, not from readers paying the cover price.

By playing on the insecurities of their female readers – to make them feel ugly – they create the perfect place for the makers of “beauty” products to advertise their stuff.

The manufacturers of makeup, clothing, diet products, etc., know they’ll profit big by pitching their wares to an audience of women readers who are feeling increasingly ugly as they look at page after page through the magazine.

The magazine, in turn, profits big by selling so much advertising space.

Surely you’ve looked at those magazines: They’re just pages and pages of advertising, interrupted by only the occasional article which asks “Is your sex life good enough?” or “How can you get thinner?”

OF COURSE the whole idea is to make you feel ugly, so that corporations can exploit your insecurities, sell you their crap, and keep the big wheel of consumerism turning.

The so-called “women’s magazines” in your supermarket checkout line are FAR more anti-woman than any so-called “lad’s magazine” like Maxim or Playboy.

Any woman who buys and reads such a magazine is, in my opinion, an idiot.
